For more than 40 years, the French company Focal-JMLab has been manufacturing acoustic systems that delight not only with well-balanced sound, but also with great design. The floor-standing Aria 948 speaker will appeal to demanding music lovers, and at the same time will be a great addition to the interior of a large home or office.

Elite appearance

The rectangular speakers, just over a metre high, impress with a rich appearance — the front panel is finished in leather, the sides are finished with walnut veneer vinyl, and the top is tinted glass. All this is placed on a wide aluminium stand with a gap into which the phase inverter port is led. The second port is located on the front panel under the lower woofer. The model is available in black, white, brown, so it will perfectly fit into any interior.

The flagship of sound

4 speakers, placed vertically in a row, operate in the frequency range of 37 – 28,000 Hz and produce a maximum power of 350 watts per channel. A pair of 210mm Powerflow woofers handles the bass effortlessly. The 165mm midrange is characterized by timbre clarity, crispness and clarity. A 25 mm tweeter with an inverted aluminium-magnesium dome is responsible for the highs. The suspension of the dome is made of Poron material, which has shape memory, which reduces distortion and allows you to comfortably listen to music from anywhere in the room.

A common feature of the woofers and midrange speakers is Flax brand cone made of linen fabric. The hollow structure and low elasticity of the linen give it a stiffness that makes the system sound exemplarily linear, with a slight boost beyond 12kHz. This is done by the manufacturer specifically to compensate for the absorption of RF in rooms with upholstered furniture.

Focal JMLab Aria 948 without a twinge of conscience can be attributed to all-genre acoustics, raising listening to music to a whole new level, from which you will not want to leave. But you will have to pay for this level indecently expensive — $ 5,000. And this is perhaps the only drawback of this system.
